Tuco Salamanca

9st 3lb

J: Billy Loughnane

T: Ollie Sangster

Progressing at a rate of knots; impressive over C&D in August on his only 5f run; has since run a fine race for second in the Ayr Gold Cup (6f, heavy); could have more to come back at 5f and he is a leading contender.

Tuco Salamanca

9st 8lb

J: Marco Ghiani

T: Ollie Sangster

Began 3yo campaign with a BHA mark of just 61 and went on to win five times (6f-8.6f); returned to action with a huge performance at Kempton (6f, AW) in March, slicing through the field from 2f out, and that positive impression has been confirmed with further wins at Newcastle (6f, AW) and Ascot (5f, good to firm); looked a natural at 5f when winning at the Shergar Cup meeting and the demands of this race will ask different questions; whatever the outcome today he remains a sprinter to keep on the right side.

10st 0lb

J: Jerry Chau

T: Ollie Sangster

Progressive last year and he has continued the good work in 2026, winning 6f handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle either side of lesser turf efforts, albeit in hot handicaps; has run well at Ascot in the past and although he has yet to race over 5f, he is a strong traveller who could prove suited to it; interesting.

9st 5lb

J: Dylan Browne McMonagle

T: Ollie Sangster

Blessed with a potent turn of foot and he has been impressive in winning 6f AW handicaps at Kempton and Newcastle this year; a 3lb rise for the latter success five weeks ago doesn't handicap him out of things and he ran well in his one visit to Goodwood; one to be interested in.

Tuco Salamanca

9st 10lb

J: William Buick

T: Ollie Sangster

Three runs at Newcastle, winning two of them and desperately unlucky in the 3yo handicap last Good Friday on the other; looked set for another productive season when scoring at Kempton in March and a subsequent York defeat shouldn't be used as conclusive evidence the handicapper has caught up; leading claims back on AW.
